Qualitative Info

The Attorney of Barcelona, Service for Hate and Discrimination Crimes talks in its Memoire about this: "It is truly believed that many of the committed crimes are not reported, with an submerged but existing number of actions that the victims  are not brave enough to report or actually ignore they can do it". Also the report "Board about Discrimination for Racial or Ethnical Origin (2010): the perception of potencial victims", elaborated by the Counseil for the Promotion of Equality of Treatment and Non Discrimination of People for Racial or Ethnical Reasons, shows that only 4.3% of those people who have suffered some kind of discriminatory behavior on them have reported it. And only 21% of those who did would do it again.
